2019 Award nominations

DRCOG has been celebrating regional excellence among its members and partners for more than 30 years: it's time once again to nominate outstanding projects and people for John V. Christensen and Metro Vision awards!

Active Transportation Plan

DRCOG is excited to share a draft of the metro area’s first-ever regional active transportation plan for public comment. The Active Transportation Plan envisions a safe, comfortable and connected network, and highlights opportunities and implementation strategies to improve active transportation across the Denver region.

Area Agency on Aging

Meeting the challenges of a rapidly growing older adult population in a constrained funding environment requires an innovative and integrated approach. As the Area Agency on Aging for the region, DRCOG is responsible for planning and funding the delivery of services. In addition, we provide help for people with disabilities and offer the most comprehensive regional resource for aging information and issues in Network of Care. We also lead the way in advocacy, fighting to make life better for people of all ages, incomes and abilities.

Transportation Planning

The transportation system is integral to the growth and development elements of Metro Vision. The system both affects, and is affected by, the location and type of development that occurs. DRCOG establishes guidelines, sets policy and allocates funding in the area of transportation and personal mobility as a cornerstone to making life better for people of all ages, incomes and abilities.

The Subregional Share Call for Projects opens Jan. 2 and closes Feb. 27. All eligible applicants who anticipate submitting a subregional application should contact their individual subregional forum based on where the project is located. Applications are submitted, reviewed, and scored by each of the individual subregional forums. After each subregional forum has identified projects to be funded within its funding target, projects will be submitted to DRCOG for consideration by committees of the Board prior to final approval by the Board of Directors.

The holidays are a time when families gather, and as a result, often a time when people realize that aging friends and relatives may be struggling with daily activities. If you visited an older loved one during the holiday season and have questions about services that may be available to assist them, we can help. Contact DRCOG's Area Agency on Aging for information on caregiving, transportation, home health and more in the eight-county region we serve.

Denver Regional Council of Governments named Jenny Dock to lead the organization’s administration and finance team, bringing more than 20 years of financial and business operations experience to serve DRCOG.
